Difference between a break statement and a continue statement

Question

Hi Friends What is the difference between a break statement and a continue statement?

Vulpes · Answer

Notice that, if you have nested loops, then these statements only break out of or continue with the closest enclosing loop. However, they also have labelled forms (a bit like goto in other languages) which enable you to break out of continue with loops other than the closest one.

Hii, Break : leaves a loop Continue : jumps to the next iteration. If it helps you mark it as answer.

A break will exit the loop. But continue will skip remaining part of code for current iteration and goes over with next iteration. For eg for (int i=0;i { Console.WriteLine(i); If (i==3) break; Console.WriteLine(i); } This will print 0 0 1 1 2 2 3 once i value is 3, it will go inside if statement and break will executed. So there wont be no more iteration. But in case if its continue. for (int i=0;i { Console.WriteLine(i); If (i==3) continue; Console.WriteLine(i); } This will print 0 0 1 1 2 2 3 4 4 5 5 6 6 7 7 8 8 9 9 In this 3 is printed only once. Thats because when it goes continue statement, it will skip the remaining piece of code. So the second print statment is not executed.
